Results vary by machine and usage, but the replacement pair aims to align with the original feel and tolerance of the steering setup.

Installation and care tips

Begin with the tractor off and safely supported. Verify part numbers match your existing components, then remove the old parts and install the new kit. After installation, perform a quick alignment check and light re-lubrication to maximize performance.
